Status on Roads<\/em><\/strong>
\nBefore I start, I keep being asked “How’s A8?” “What’s the status of A8?”. I do apologize for not responding sooner, but the A8’s been done a week ago. I’ve been working on the A850, which got done yesterday.<\/p>\n

With this, I am now officially (and will also be forever) done with frozen’s roads. I don’t mind the challenges, but what I do mind is the permission drama. I’m sick of it. Roads are really nothing more than drama bombs anymore.<\/p>\n

.
\nShould I move Soiled Solitude?<\/em><\/strong>
\nThat being said, my idea to do a road from my island and connect it to A1, would had never worked. It clearly states in the new Road Standards<\/a>; “Tunnels are allowed over small distances” for B-Class roads. And the distance between my island in the mainland isn’t ‘small’ by any measurement. Nor would it be realistic to have the tunnel end into an underground complex.<\/p>\n

Anyway, with this being related to what I want to talk about, I’m thinking of going to the next rank level (Mayor). I’ve been Councillor for quite awhile now, and I thought maybe it’s time to work on it. But with my island being… what is supposed to be “private” (yet I’m allowing ferries and businesses to get on), it’s … challenging to get it.
\nTom_Pairs told me that I had three options;
\n1. Continue working on my island to get the 20 building limit, get a Deputy Mayor.. yadda yadda yadda…
\n2. Make something that will blow the mod’s minds away. (Not happening)
\n3. Move my “town” somewhere else, so this way I might have road access. However, I’ll lose ferry access. And I have several ferries that connect to my island.<\/p>\n

The first option is possible, but I’m going to have to throw away the whole “private island” idea. The second option.. yeah, that’s not happening in a million years.
\nAnd the 3rd… is very ‘risky’. Though I believe I know where I could move to; the Taiga line. The reason why it’s so risky, is I’ll have to abandon the island completely. Plus, Tulsi’s living next to me. If I move out, he’ll be all alone. And I can’t really do that to him.
\nSo, if I do… do this, I’ll need to discuss it with him first. Maybe I could make him my Deputy Mayor, and he could help me.<\/p>\n

.
\nEDIT: Despite myself wanting to do the 3rd option, my common sense made me settle on the first one. I’m too far ‘dug into’ the island to just… move like that. It would be too harsh on everyone, having several ferries already established and running.
\nI now need five more nice-looking builds that fit the theme of the island. I already have one idea I can do, and lalaboy is helping me with the other one; an actual Town Hall.
\nI have also declared who will be my Deputy Mayor. Of course it’ll be Tulsi. So, he’ll have control of my island if something were to happen to me (hopefully nothing does).<\/p>\n

So this means I’m now officially shifting from a “private” island. Though I also wondered if I should change the name ‘Soiled Solitude’ to something else. I haven’t come up with an idea yet, but it needs to fit the island\/rustic theme of the island.
\nThough to be honest, maybe I should just leave it like that. This too would put unwanted stress on the mods, having to change all of those warp signs over a town name change. Not really worth it.<\/p>\n

Besides, if\/when I get Mayor, I’ll be able to build and own a second town and finally have that road access that I want. Though I won’t have ferry access(or even private ferry access with my boats).
\nWhat’s ironic, that road access might come from the same road that suppoe and I had been working on (A8). And even more so, how I said I was “done” with working on frozen’s roads. That is, when the town is at Councillor status. Yes, I too still have to have those ten builds and all of that other stuff (plus a secondary house\/Town Hall to call my own).<\/p>\n

But that’s all in the future. I still need to think of three more builds to place on the island, and wait patiently for lala to continue work on the Town Hall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
